This is the best cafe in shawnigian by far. It’s so delicious, especially the breakfast sandwich and the croissant. They even made my coffee a special way I like it. 100000/10

Amazing pastries! The chocolatine was pretty good but the almond croissant is so decadent, you cannot say no! It might be in the middle of nowhere but this would easily beat most bakeries in major cities.

Amazing location in the middle of nowhere, food was amazing, and staff was exceptional, we rarely have the time to enjoy an evening as a couple without kids, and I guess they sensed it. They did everything they could to make the most of our evening. We also bought their homemade croissants for the next morning! And will be stopping everytime we go to the parc de la mauricie for their homemade bread!

We stopped in for dinner here. Refined menu: we chose a house-made naan starter, and then a special short rib of beef dish and an assortment of fresh shellfish (mussels, scallops, crabmeat…) on black wild rice. Dessert was a pistachio-based slice of cake that hit the sweet tooth! Wait staff were pleasant and efficient. If you want a very nice meal in a place where it is t always easy to find - this is it. Merci et au plaisir de vous revoir!

★★
October 23, 2024

Me and my companion were extremely disappointed with our take-out purchase in the bakery section, in fact we bought 4 small sandwiches for a total of $48, during the tasting, we noticed that the bread was stale, under a the packaging was even indicated with the date of October 9, we bought them on October 11... despite the very nice setting and the many very positive comments about the restaurant we do not recommend takeaway sandwiches...

A decoration worthy of Pinterest photos! -A cuisine to savor, professional and welcoming staff. -An inviting and warm interior terrace. -A calming courtyard and so pleasant to be there. -A magnificent greenhouse where many foods grown on site end up on our plates. -Local products encouraged. -The cocktails as well as the dishes are delicious both to look at and to taste. A little expensive but worth paying and treating yourself to. -Meatless dishes are of good quality. -For lovers of good cuisine, excellent restaurants that are out of the ordinary and for those who like to admire beautiful places: I recommend.

It was a very nice discovery. The decor is very beautiful to look at. The presentation of the menu helps people better understand the choices offered. Many food choices looked interesting. I would have liked to have had real candles lit on the table for an even cozier ambiance, but that doesnt detract from the restaurant experience. Parking: Some charging stations available for electric cars

So good! A delicious experience! I chose 3 high-end restaurants in this beautiful area to discover and this table is my favorite. As a starter of mushrooms in a room this creamy but! Don t eat it, it s too good! Accompanied by a bottle of pink wine recommended by our waitress, a fillet of walleye accompanied by vegetables and a brownie dessert that is completely original as much as the presentation and their name displayed on the menu. Yum All served on a high-ceilinged terrace with walls of huge windows to appreciate the surrounding nature. Nice touch of pretty candle holders at night. In short, an adventure for my palate which delights me just thinking about it. Im going back for sure.

This is the only restaurant I can find n this area. It is on the side of the road. After entering, it is spacious and bright, with the fragrance of coffee and pastries. Lunch is in the area near the door, and the larger area behind is arranged for dinner. It seems that business is good. With the help of an enthusiastic waiter, I ordered a ham sandwich and a minced meat sandwich. They were crispy and fragrant after heating. The meat sandwich tasted better than another. There is also a tofu sandwich, tofu tomatoes + fromage, and I have repeatedly given up. The quinoa salad is delicious, with a small box of $2. 5. Its a good choice to try first. I bought some special desserts too, They tasted great. This is the only restaurant in this area. It is right on the side of the road. It is basically invisible from the outside. Once inside, it is spacious and bright, and the aroma of coffee and pastries wafts around. Lunch is in the area near the door, and dinner is served in the larger area at the back. It seems like business is good. With the help of the enthusiastic waiter, I ordered a ham sandwich and a minced meat sandwich. They were heated up and they were crispy and fragrant. Compared with the latter, they tasted better. There was also a tofu sandwich, tofu tomato +fromage, which I considered giving up again and again. The quinoa salad is delicious, the small box is $2.5, and it s a good choice. Tried several special desserts, they taste great and the price is not cheap

A sincere and warm welcome. An atmosphere that smells like a bakery. And what about the products!!! We went there first for the bakery/pastry shop. And what does that look like for people who love bread and pastries... a beautiful composition like in the photos that wont last long, believe me! So good!! soon there is now also an ice cream counter This lunchtime I had a sandwich with pork rillettes, cheese and mustard, delicious! I accompanied everything with a salad and a cappuccino and a lemon tart. A real treat!

Tourists passing through, we couldnt find a restaurant. The few that were open were full and not accepting any additional customers. So we stopped at the Olivia to grab a sandwich from the bakery section. Correct reception of the young girls, deplorable on the part of the one who seemed to be their manager, who went so far as to refuse to pay by credit card. I recommend tourists to avoid this establishment...
